Brief Program Summary
For more than six decades, the Alumnae Scholarship Housing (ASH) program has offered a unique, cooperative, and low-cost housing option for women at The Ohio State University. More than one thousand women have participated in the ASH program, many of whom have been awarded advanced degrees in a variety of fields. The ASH program is specifically designed to assist you with the challenges of college, as well as provide you with skills to make the most of your first year on campus. Perhaps the greatest benefit of living in one of the ASH houses is the sense of family created through the experience of sharing and maintaining a house. Each of the ASH Houses provides attractive, affordable housing for 18 students. Because you will be living, working, and learning in a house with other women, the program maximizes the educational outcomes of group living. Living in such a small community will offer flexibility for finding academic assistance from upperclass residents, permit you to become connected to the university culture, and provide you with tremendous memories and friendships that only develop in such a cozy, comfortable setting
